SLO vigil planned for Minneapolis woman killed by ICE. Here’s when and where

A San Luis Obispo community group will host a vigil on Thursday night to honor the woman fatally shot by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in Minneapolis this week.

An ICE agent shot and killed Renee Good, 37, in a residential neighborhood on Wednesday.

The community group SLO Action for Peace will host a vigil at Mission Plaza on Thursday at 6:30 p.m. to mourn Good and all others killed by ICE.

At a press conference, federal officials defended the ICE agent. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem said Good tried to hit the agent with her vehicle, so he shot her in self-defense.

However, a New York Times analysis of video footage of the shooting showed that the wheels of Good’s SUV were pointed away from the agent when she tried to drive away from the confrontation.

Meanwhile, the ICE agent’s feet were pointed away from the vehicle, indicating that he was not hit by the SUV, the New York Times reported.
